Quantum entanglement posits

That two or more objects may

Exist in reference to one another,

Regardless of space & time.
my doctor calls it complex post-traumatic stress disorder

says disassociation instead of liberation

says flashback instead of memory

says then instead of now, here, always
Every me is tired.

“I don’t want to do this Khalto”

“Can you believe this girl?

you are here,

Surrounded by Possibilities.
And baby girl

a Possibility isn’t something you, having had, throw away.

It’s a fruit, bite in, swallow the flesh and the rind, the complete bittersweet experience.

Why do you wear your sorrow like a chain?

dragging

always stopping just before the finish line…”

that wave function duality

Schrödinger’s health,

unseen, unacknowledged.

Ubiquitous repression of worldly cruelties

You turn to a friend and say:
fam, I’ve got a joke for you

yeah?

when do you know a black woman is struggling?

She Laughs

at her funeral of course
There are eulogies encoded into your DNA,

trauma has no time limit and recovery is a myth.
/
Wellness maybe choice

but access is a myth.

the punishment must fit the crime,

the audacity of demanding life.

After all,

human rights are a lie

applying to those we see human	
Never Forget

health care systems are war zones too.

Once a psychologist told me that I was trapped in a cage of my own memories.

To leave the past in the past and focus on the here and now.

Some wars have no borders, they obey no time zones
Now, here, Always.

Every me is fighting.
